…to relay a conversation with my son. Tuesday was an early release day, so I took my kids and a friend to the MFA to see the Dale Chihuly show. (Which was a big hit. My son declared “Mille Fiori” to be the “most awesome thing [he’s] ever seen!”)
On the way there, my son asked me, “Do people become artists because they can’t find other jobs?” (Keep in mind the boy’s grandmother is an artist.)
Later, after I told Adam what he said, Adam told the boy, “You know, if I were out of work, I don’t think I could be an artist. I can’t draw.”
To which the boy logically replied, “Well, in that case, you could be an abstract artist.”
